The 11 Best R.E.M. Songs of the Post-Bill Berry Era

The N.I.T. Who the hell cares about the N.I.T? A bunch of mediocre college basketball teams competing to establish who is the least mediocre. What's the point? To prove that you don't suck as much as another team who wasn't good enough to make the NCAA tournament? That's like a bunch of blind people competing in a dart competition. Does it really matter who wins?

If they really wanted to make the N.I.T. interesting, they should invite the 32 worst teams in college basketball. And instead of the winning team moving onto the next round, the losing team moves on to play another losing team. This would continue on until one team loses all of their games. That team would be crowned the worst team in college basketball. Now that would be an amusing sporting event to watch!
